Leicester vs Arsenal: 3 things to look out for in Saturday’s game

Arsenal face a Leicester City side coming off a 3-0 loss to Manchester United as they look to heap the pressure back on Manchester City, who are away at Bournemouth later in the day.

The Gunners are coming off a confidence-boosting 4-2 win over Aston Villa last time out. Arsenal were in the midst of a three-game winless run that was halted in incredible circumstances at Villa Park.

Now the Gunners have to replicate that against the Foxes, who, before the United loss, were on a run of three straight wins in all competitions. The game will not be easy, but being just two points clear of City, the chance to expand that to five needs to be taken.

Arsenal wasn’t at its best against Villa but did enough to get the win. More of the same is needed Saturday against the Foxes.

Leicester vs Arsenal: 3 things to look out for

Here are three things to look for.

1. Team selection

Mikel Arteta made a few changes against Villa last time out, and it will be fascinating to see how he tinkers with his XI.

Thomas Partey could be a game-time decision, but in Jorginho, the Gunners have a more than capable replacement. Leandro Trossard was also handed his first start against Villa and was decent enough.

Arteta could make many changes, but whether he will pull the trigger or not remains to be seen.
